Answer
Correct Answer: Scent : Whiff
Explanation
Introduction / Context:“Glint” is a small flash or brief sparkle of light; thus, the relation is “broad phenomenon : brief/partial instance.” The correct parallel should reflect a similarly fleeting, minor, or specific expression of a broader sensory phenomenon.
Concept / Approach:“Whiff” is a slight, passing smell—an instance or hint of “scent.” Hence, “Scent : Whiff” mirrors “Light : Glint.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Tide : Wave → both are water motions with different scales; not a phenomenon vs. brief instance relation.
- Colour : Shade → category vs. degree/variation; not inherently brief.
- Sound : Blare → “blare” is a loud, sustained sound; not necessarily a brief instance.
- Heat : Season → mismatched categories.
Final Answer:Scent : Whiff
